Very mixed reviews on this dentist office - some things were pretty good (hygenists in general), but some things were pretty bad -- including course of treatment, billing, and front desk help etc. I found (and confirmed with other dentists afterwards) that the recommendations on procedures were more agressive than what was often needed. Additionally, many recommendations seemed to be costly procedures that were not typically covered by insurance, but the doctor or office didn't bother to let you know even though well aware of these facts. Subsequently, I've learned this is not typical of other good dentist offices where they work with patients on appropriate treatment plans and offer such information in pursuing various options and treatment plans. I often found this office to be extremely unhelpful and unwilling to provide relevant information.

I know this doctor: 3+ years
